19 What's the strangest statue you've ever seen?

Hmm. I don't think I've seen any strange statues.

But! I used to pass a strange building on my way to college in Liverpool. The bombed out church (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_St_Luke,_Liverpool) is a ruin. The church was mostly destroyed during WW2, though the shell of the building remains. It's kept as a monument to those lost during WW2.

Photos under the cut.
The outside looks almost complete.





But the inside shows all the damage.

That's beautiful! I used to go to Liverpool quite a lot, but I never even knew it was there. I think I used to get off at Lime Street Station though (it was more than twenty years ago now!), and apparently you have to go to Liverpool Central to be in the right place. So many lifetimes ago...

Thanks for those pictures.

I never liked Blue Boy but I always wondered in Manolito and Uncle Buck had something going on.

They totally did. ;) If you're able to watch the show, there's an early episode called "Ride The Savage Land", where Buck and Mano are taking time out, lying on a hillside. They look incredibly post-coital. It's hilarious.

The 1969 film version of D.H. Lawrence's Women in Love has a scene where Oliver Reed and Alan Bates' characters wrestle naked. When I saw it on US TV for the first time they cut out the naked wrestling so they went straight from taking their clothes off to lying side by side on the mat breathing heavily. :D

People always claim that we have naughtier minds these days, and that these things didn't get noticed back then; but the sixties did spawn Kirk/Spock slashfic. So I very much doubt that we're naughtier now. It's just easier to talk to people about it!

I don't think we're "naughtier" we're just more open about things so in old canon, men touched quite a bit, invaded each other's space and often shared beds, or at least bedrooms and most of the audience didn't interpret it in the way we do now.

If you think about it, in modern canons, male characters don't touch half as much unless they want us to think they're together.
